"Jupiter and Io" (Italian: "Giove e Io") is a renowned oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. Created around 1530, this artwork is part of a series of mythological love scenes that also includes "Danaë," "Venus and Cupid," and "Leda and the Swan." These paintings are celebrated for their sensual portrayal of mythological subjects and are considered masterpieces of 16th-century erotic art.

The painting depicts the moment from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" when Jupiter, the king of the gods, disguised as a cloud, descends to seduce Io, a mortal priestess. Correggio's mastery of chiaroscuro and sfumato techniques is evident in the delicate rendering of the cloud enveloping Io, creating a sense of ethereal lightness and divine touch. The work is notable for its soft, almost dreamlike quality and the intimate, tender interaction between the figures.

"Jupiter and Io" measures 163.5 cm × 70.5 cm and is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting's innovative composition, with its unusual vertical format and the close-up view of the entwined figures, has been influential in the history of art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists. Correggio's skillful use of color and light to convey texture and emotion contributes to the painting's enduring reputation as a masterpiece of sensuality and an exemplar of the High Renaissance's exploration of mythological themes.
